+It was a special Live Update where we said goodbye to the project leader, [Pablo Borowicz](https://github.com/eternoendless), who, after over six years here, is leaving PrestaShop company. On behalf of everyone in the project, I would like to thank him for all the work he has done for the project and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
